We’re proud to partner with CEISMC at Georgia Tech, a leader in STEM education and outreach. Students will work from Georgia Tech’s campus and learn from professionals, creatives, and tech leaders who reflect the future of the industry.

Together, we’re merging workforce development, education, and empowerment into one experience that changes the game.
